Carl Mason on his 20th European Seniors Tour title when he successfully defended the Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open in Switzerland by finishing two clear of Bill Longmuir.
After his record-equalling round of 61 on Saturday, the Englishman followed up with a 65 for a 15-under-par total of 195, two ahead of Scotland's Longmuir, who signed for a 66 and an aggregate of 197.
Mason's win moved him within three of Tommy Horton's record of 23 victories. "Number 20," said Mason. "When I started out I never imagined anything like this." He led by one stroke after nine holes and the momentum really swung in his favour when Longmuir double-bogeyed the 11th as the Englishman birdied the first two holes of the back nine.
